Attending of the Month

Holly Haning, MD

UMC Emergency Medicine

“Dr. Haning has a way of turning a scary situation around. She takes her time with each patient and makes sure they feel at ease under her care. She is a perfect fit for emergency care!”
House Staff of the Month

Dylan Homen, MD

TTUHSC Dept. of Orthopaedic Surgery

“When insurance denied a patient’s stay, Dr. Homen didn’t hesitate to do a peer-to-peer review with the insurance company. As a result, the denial was overturned, and the insurance approved the hospital stay. We are grateful for his going above and beyond.”
